Network Functions Virtualization

Deploying network functions in virtual and cloud environments

Network Functions Virtualization

Service providers who wish to retain control over their core network functions, instead of deploying in a public cloud, will typically deploy network functions virtualization (NFV) in their private cloud environments. NFV is intended to eliminate proprietary hardware dependencies, drive efficiency of scale, improve service agility and fundamentally improve the way service providers do business. By delivering a suite of OpenStack-based virtual network functions (VNFs), Ribbon helps ensure successful cloud deployments for real-time communications.

Ribbon's VNF Manager aids service providers through full support of orchestration, automation, elasticity, scalability, and geographic distribution of Virtual Network Functions (VNFs). Ribbon is working with both ETSI and ONAP for VNF implementation in virtual and cloud environments.
